1. A control system for use with an electrosurgical generator that delivers electrosurgical energy to tissue, the control system comprising:

  • a control module including at least one processor, said at least one processor executing an algorithm comprising the steps of;

    determining a sensed voltage value corresponding to a sensed voltage signal output by the electrosurgical generator;

    determining a sensed current value corresponding to a sensed current signal output by the electrosurgical generator;

    determining phase information corresponding to a phase shift between the at least one voltage signal and at least one current signal; and

    determining a characteristic related to the electrosurgical energy delivered to the tissue using the phase information, the sensed voltage and the sensed current.
